prop 34

            Out of all the props my main focus is going to be on prop 34. Prop 34 focuses on trying to get rid of the death penalty. The death penalty is given to convicts or criminals in order to punish them for the crimes they have done. But some people believe this isn’t such a great idea because the person can sometimes be innocent and giving them the death penalty would just free them. This proposition wouldn’t give the chance of parole, the maximum punishment would give a 100 million fund to solve cases while murderers would be working to pay fines and for the families of the victims.
            Like every proposition this prop has positive and negatives to it. If we get rid of the death penalty it would be better because prisoners would suffer in jail and they wouldn’t just end it as easily. If they get the death penalty it would be good because they wouldn’t be wasting a lot of money on the prisoners who are in there. That money can be used for positive things like in education and things that can better our community. This would really help out with the money issues. Sometimes the death penalty can really affect people because an innocent person can be convicted and be killed for an error.
            I believe the death penalty should be get rid of because it would really benefit a lot of people. This would save a lot of money and it would let the convicts suffer more. The money could be used for more positive things than just killing the prisoners. So if I was 18 I would vote to get rid of it.

The Canterbury Tales

Based on The Canterbury Tales if I lived during that time I would have chosen to be a knight. I would have chosen to be a knight because you would have your life planned out and it represents strength. To be a knight you have to be strong and you provide protection. So the knight is someone that can be looked up to and that’s always a positive thing.
My occupation would be a knight. So by being a knight it would be required for me to be strong and loyal. My job would be look after the king or lord in charge. My days would consist of training in order to build up and have strength. My challenges as a knight would be that I would have to go through rough training and be able to protect others before myself. As a Knight I wouldn’t really have a family life because my main priority would be to look after the king or others it would consist of mostly training and working for the king. My values and morals would mostly consist of looking after everyone but myself and put everyone’s protection in front of my own safety. In the future after my training I would of like to settle down with a family like for example I would have tried making a future with the princess.
Being a Knight would be hard work and it would require loyalty. I think I would have chosen that out of all the parts because you wouldn’t be poor and you had a good descent job. I think it would be great also because you would resemble something strong and you would be someone people can look up to and be looked for protection. The only negative thing would be that you would have to constantly worry about being hurt and you would have to think of everyone else but yourself as in your safety.
